Maybe you are a bit shy about dancing for kindness,
or a little too afraid to hand out kindness cards. How
about creating Kindness Calendars though? All too
oft en we are focused on “getting”. Kindness calendars
turn this around and base your days on giving.
The giving doesn’t have to be big. Oft en it is giving
just a small amount of your time to someone, or even
yourself. Think quick, easy and inexpensive but most
of all think about how your actions have an impact on
the people around you – think kindness. Then watch
this video which explains the science of kindness.

Why not create a kindness calendar for yourself?
Make the world a kinder place one day and one
act at a time.

Maybe it isn’t essential to know when it is National Katsu
Curry Day (September 28th), and perhaps you’re not that
keen to remind your parents that October is International
Walk to School month, but how about Human Rights
Day (December 10th) or Young Carers Awareness Day
(January 26th)? Awareness Days UK is a website devoted
to information about celebration of important days, if you
want to know when to appreciate squirrels, have a smile
day, support great causes, or have a fantastic Winnie
The Pooh Day, and perhaps include it in your Kindness
Calendar, then this is the website for you!
